Meridian Coaching Services
Meridian business coaches provide objective, confidential, and knowledgeable
support for clients through four executive coaching programs.
Executive Business Coaching:
Investing in targeted leadership development ensures that executives acquire new skill sets, see things in a new way, internalize new behaviors, and overcome the obstacles that prevent them from achieving the desired results.
Meridian works with client personnel to develop a program that meets the needs
of the executive and the organization:
- The person who has just been promoted or has stepped up to a new level that requires different skill sets.
- The promising individual who is being held back by one or two challenges.
- The focused individual who needs accelerated development in a specific area.
Strengthening and improving the skills and capabilities of your executive staff increases job satisfaction and productivity, and reduces burnout and turnover.
Executive Onboarding:
Executive Onboarding is an effective way to prepare and successfully integrate newly placed executives. It is a process of analyzing the organization through the lens of the people, processes, and systems that define the environment, within which decisions must be made and executed. Onboarding is a structured and focused process of integration that leads to the development of sound transition strategies to promote targeted action and tangible results. Executive
Onboarding is a smart investment in your human capital.
Most executive orientation programs focus upon the tangibles of business: operations,
performance measures, strategic goals and objectives, branding and market share.
These things are important, but what dramatically affects the ability of a executive
to deliver,
are the intangibles. These critical variables are overlooked and left to chance
when bringing a new executive up to speed, things like: corporate values, morale
issues, retention programs, turnover rates, job satisfaction, key networking relationships,
the strengths and weaknesses of key personnel, succession planning, formal and
informal power structures, organizational demographics, and the culture. These
are only
revealed
through observation
and
a deliberate process of information gathering. These are powerful variables that
can either support or derail an executive's efforts to effectively lead.
Meridian's
Executive Onboarding service adds value because our Business Coaches represent
a dedicated short-term resource, with no stakeholder ties. Onboarding provides
a focused and objective leadership and talent management program, leading to
higher retention rates, improved job satisfaction, and increased productivity,
and that
is just for the newly placed executive. The trickle-down savings can be substantial.
Shadow Coaching:
Perception is reality. A leader's ability to guide and inspire others is determined by how they are viewed by others. It is difficult for all of us to be observers of our own behavior and its impact on others. Shadow
Coaching is a technique designed to give leaders the feedback that is so difficult to obtain directly, and to have the opportunity to process that data with an objective and experienced third party.
Leaders can only lead when others follow. When an executive understands how their choices and actions create assumptions in the minds of others regarding their capability, behavior, and motives, they will be able to modify their behavior in situationally appropriate ways and improve their overall effectiveness.
Meridian's business coaches are experienced and seasoned executives who are familiar
with the daily challenges and expectations faced by executives. In Shadow Coaching,
executives have the benefit of that experience, coupled with the unbiased observations
of a neutral third party.
There are two approaches for the collection and feedback of data. One is through verbal communication and processing of observations, and the second is through the application of 360º surveys. Contact us to see which tool would be the most appropriate.
